617 glow plug change and fifth cylinder.....

Hi all.....

Thanks to the help of all the great info on this forum, I set out to swap out all of the glow plugs on my 84 300SD. They are all changed out to the new Bosch plugs except for the last one -- the fifth cylinder, the one closest to the firewall. This one is a huge PITA and I really don't see how any of you got it out or back in. I did a search for "5th cylinder glow plug fun" and such with no luck.

Do any of y'all have any tips for that last and final glow plug? Right now I'm thinking that the only way is to remove the oil filter and coolant hose connection.

BTW -- I have removed/loosened all of the injection lines to move them out of the way a little. That helped with the other four but I'm stumped with the fifth one.

Thanks in advance,
.....Dan
